Occupying an imposing setting to the east of the River Wye, Fownhope Park Woodland is a well-managed woodland featuring a diverse mix of species. This property is covenanted for use for forestry purposes only.
Situated within the Wye Valley National Landscape in the
heart of Herefordshire, a county known for the quality of its
woods, Fownhope Park Woodland is a well-managed
property featuring a rich and diverse mix of species, both
conifer and broadleaved. The combination of wide plateaux
and slopes help in defining the many different parts to the
wood.
The conifers are primarily confined to the northern third of
the wood and include Douglas fir, Norway spruce, Corsican
pine, Scots pine and Japanese larch with planting years
ranging from 1964 to more recent restocking in 2022.
Douglas fir seems to grow particularly well in the wood.
The broadleaves comprise oak and ash in the majority
alongside sycamore, birch and lime. There are several areas
at the centre of the wood which have recently been
restocked.
The currently felling licence (015/1943/2019) expires in
2029. A copy of the licence can be provided by the Selling
Agents on request.
Ground vegetation is also diverse and includes Iris,
Hellebore, common twayblade and Bee orchid.
Further interest for a prospective purchaser can be found in
the Earthwork remains of an Iron Age hill fort known as
Cherry Hill Camp, located close to the southern tip of the
wood. This is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Soils within the wood are described as slightly acid loamy and
clayey soils.
The entirety of Fownhope Park Woodland is designated as
Ancient woodland with the southern half classified as
Ancient and Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW) and the
remainder classified as Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site
(PAWS). These designations indicate the land has had trees
growing continuously since before 1600 AD. Ancient
woodland can often benefit from enhanced grant aid to assist
with managing the wood to maintain or restore its status as
Ancient woodland.
Much of the southern half of the wood is also designated as a
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The woodland benefits from multiple access points as shown
on the sale plan, principally over routes AB and XY both of
which are proven for timber extraction.
